Might be clearer to leave the non CONT_* definitions alone and instead
convert the CONT versions along the lines of:

	hugetlb_add_hstate(CONT_PMD_SHIFT + PMD_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT);

(untested, but I think that's right...)

But that doesn't matter until Qian has confirmed that your patch fixes the
issue.
